John
Constable painted a quiet, slow-moving scene that represents England as
Constable imagined it had been for centuries comfortable, rural and idyllic. The
hay wain has the fresh color and sense of visual exactitude that persuades
viewers to believe that it must have been painted directly from nature, even
the carefully rendered and meteorologically correct details of the sky seem
natural. The painting is, however, deeply nostalgic, harking back to an
agrarian past that was fast disappearing in industrializing England.
